Gboom:
Opposition with no real information to counter the govt in power.
Where I am and staying, power is 24hrs but with conversion to band A like people that are living in highbrow areas

Thanks. Everything na propaganda to them.

1bunne4lif:
in the past two months, we've had light not up to 24hrs

Maybe una snatch NEPA wife

emmy4real94:
We now have about 20 hrs of electricity. That former minister was the problem

I would say so too

toffyz:
Baba, no be only una side ooo....I swear to Almighty God we've been getting uninterrupted light for the past 3 days now....and this has been happening for the past 2 months. The longest time it takes to off and on it back is 5 minutes. WALAHI!

I currently stay in EKiti, the doubting Thomas can confirm from anyone that resides in Ado-Ekiti if this is true or not. I come in peace. ire ooo

Thank you for your honesty🌹

The cost of funding luxury life style can be used to fix electricity baba. A poor country has no business funding life style of politicians. Stop running away from the truth. The truth is that Nigerian politicians are wasteful. Everyone knows that and they steal a lot. The money from there can subsdize electricity and fix many core issues such as fixing education and ending importing items that we can build locally. Kiss the truth.

Politcians spend a lot to fund their luxury lifestyles, but it is not up to what we need to fix electricity in Nigeria.

Oga, our politicans steal, but what they are stealing is not in the tens of trillions of naira, it isn't up to 7 trillion naira self.

The only way we can fund electricity is by removing subsides, and allowing a cost reflective tarrif. Sorry, but na the truth. Even if we stopped stealing it won't fund anything

You sound like the person that told me that presidential yacht money could fund fuel subsidy. Yacht wey no reach 200 billion naira,go fund subsidy of nearly 10 trillion or more.

Education alone needs something like 28 trillion naira in annual spending to be world class, same for healthcare. Our politicans cannot steal that ammount...e go tell on the economy. Salaries would not be paid for example at all at all.

Bittersweetnig:
you can now go and collect your allowance from APC, all these propaganda to campaign and letter suffer 4years

Thanks. Don't be pained though😜

Raregem9000:
Worse oo. E be like the former minister better pass this new one oo. Rainy season wey we dey always get light before but no light now.

That one na for your side o

morikee:
It's been like this for ages during rainy season the supply improved

Ok

mrkia:
Yes, there's a very superb improvement here in Osogbo

God bless you bro 🌹

cucumbar:
You ask this senseless question every year, and I keep reminding you that it’s because it is rainy season, but you keep bringing this up every year at this time.

Which kind brain Una get sef.

You are not worth my proper response.

Trymeagain:
It’s has improved. I think it’s because of the rain sha

So many people said that

HopeNeverDies:
Which Ibadan is worse

Lol.. I stay at Adegbayi.. electricity wan wound us for here since 3weeks now..

Same time line as ours here. Thank for being honest. No be everything should be lies

Wadoboy:
The OP knows what he is doing.

Created a thread without mentioning the particular area, location or state?

But electricity has improved nationwide

Thanks bro. I am not doing anything. This is one of the benefit of the internet...one can get the views of people beyond ones immediate environment.

Brux89:
It will continue like that.

We pray o

GreekDon:
Household energy demand generally falls during the rainy season. People use less of thier Airconditioners. Wait till the heat wave comes, without rainfall and peak energy demand and see whether you will see those 20 hours energy supply again.

Another perspective too

regenerateman:
There has been a noticeable improvement in electricity supply in my area. I believe in giving credit when the government performs well, and holding it accountable when it doesn’t.

God bless you bro. It's good to be honest sometimes.

Princedapace:
Pls it is ur area and it has always been like that in Nigeria since I was a child. Nigeria has never solved her electricity problem. In every state, there are areas that may enjoy better supply and they are usually less in number. In my place now, we get maybe 5 hours per week. And it comes once per week. Until Nigeria fixes electricity, we are just noise makers. They can buy luxury SUV for 15 billion and have 1million dollars for mass wedding but have no money to fix electricity. It is a big fraudulent country and I hate it with passion.

I don't blame your persimism

Emeka71:
Which area is he talking about self?

Talk about your own area abeg. No fight

gloryman91:
Yes, honestly it has improved in my Area along Arulogun Road, Ojoo Akinyele LGA Ibadan Oyo State.

But a very stupid man and some set of people were felling a very big tree at Bola Area very close to high tension cable and poles, fell on the cables and broke about six poles immediately, making my Area to be in darkness since Sunday.

SOS , please government and IBEDC should please come to our rescue.

Thanks.

Toor. Thanks bro

Mussolini77:
Ogbomoso people and some parts of Akala express with Ologuneru will tell you otherwise

Ok

seunowa:
Excuse, does Nigeria still depend largely on hydro- electricity for her generation and distribution? Do these people still dwell in 90's? Nigeria electricity is more 90% gas generated. Bitterness and hatred have negatively affected some people rationality.

Thanks jare. Nigeria that is largely dependent on gas for electricity, many were talking about hydropower.

Are you on Band A? If so it is not unusual.

I am on band E

Skydiv:
Can you see why I said your posts are always lope sided and irritating? See you using price control as a shield for corporate incompetence, completely ignoring the fact that DisCos are failing at their most basic operational duties, which are metering, billing, and collecting their money from customers.

You are ignorant of the fact that the ₦120B failure is an operational disconnect, not a price control issue. Your May 2026 figures reveal that DisCos lost ₦120.8 billion in a single month, entirely due to internal inefficiencies on the part of DisCos, not subsidy related. DisCos' inefficiencies cost them a billing failure loss, which amounts to a whopping ₦76.08B.

DisCos received ₦328.95 billion worth of electricity but only managed to bill ₦252.87 billion. A staggering 23.13% of the energy running through their networks vanished into thin air because of poor network maintenance, technical line losses, and unmetered energy theft. Out of the energy they did manage to bill, they still failed to collect over 17% of the cash, thereby losing another ₦44.72 billion, which amounts to a total loss of #120.8B just in a single month. Do you expect the government to help them meter, and collect their own money from their customers?

How can a business purchase goods of over #300B and the management couldn't account for over #76B lost, and the same management couldn't collect payments for goods sold worth over #44B? I"m against the current subsidy structure not because it is bad, but because it is making these Discos very lazy and incompetent; they blame everybody for their failures except themselves. If not for subsidy, most of these Discos would have locked their offices by now.

I quite agree with your argument

Princedapace:
So, because the cost is high, we should continue to fund politicians luxury? Like buy 39 SUV for 15 billion? I want u to really tell me what u mean. Do u know how much has been stolen so far can fix electricity? So, who has been persecuted? Where is the money? Is there any effort to fix and tackle and block corruption? So, president can spend 17billion on Aso Rock Solar but we should understand that we cant fix national electricity becus it is costly?
So, u dont know that if u spend 1billion naira inside 10billion dollars, u have at least cut down the cost by certain percentage. The reason they dont tackle these things is not money, Nigeria has money, Nigeria has trillions from NNPC alone. Nigeria has resources that can fund and fix electricity. Yes, just one or two of our resources can fix electricity.
The reason no one is ready to fix it is simple: Keep them in darkness, they cant be productive. When they arent productive, they worship us becus they are hungry and we can give them one cup of rice to buy their votes.
Have u also wondered why education is not fixed? lol, quality education will make the citizens librated and know their left and right, govt doesnt want that and politicians dont need ur national electriicty, or education or healthcare, they rarely use ur roads, so they dont give a fly about u. Let me tell u something, people like u should stop this rubbish of making useless excuses for Nigerian politicians.
I am interesed in any politician who has prioritized cutting cost, streamlining govt operations, tackling corruption and wastage, paying attention to electricity, healthcare and education. If we have sound education, we dont need to import forigners to fix our electricity.. Anyone who has such priority is my top candidate.

Unfortunately we don't have such candidate. Even sowore is a thief

Bro rest.
It is simply because we are in the raining season or so.

Princedapace:
What are u saying? I simply explained to u that what you are experiencing is nothing new. Over the years, Nigeria has always been like this. Some areas may have better supply, while most wont. In that your state, go and check, over 80% dont enjoy stable supply. That is the point. There is nothing new here. It is the turn of your area, enjoy it. It wont last for years.
And pls, I dont live in Ghetto area.

It is not simply turn by turn thing. I said in my area nothing like this ever happened in the last 10 years. It's not usual it's new abeg. You dey follow me live for the area😠

Skydiv:
nairalanda1, its understanble and typical of you to always run away by blocking others when faced with overwhelming facts. Folks like you always run away from the house for fear of their wives beating them. Should i remember you to block me again once the current 2 weeks block period has elapsed? I"m better off not seeing childish, irritating, and lope sided posts like yours here.

He is a runner like obi

Kdon2:

I am talking about Nigeria generally, oga. So, calm down, okay. I am talking about Nigeria's electricity. U were asking if others are experiencing same, right? I gave my view about Nigeria and this type of stuff. It is not general, it has always been like this in Nigeria. So, pls take a chill pill, because I dont understand the argument here.

nairalanda1:

so, going with ur judgement, we should keep looting away because what they are looting is not enough for fixing our problem? hahaahaahahaahahahaahahahaahhahaahhaa, see black man mentality. A drop of water gradually can make a full bucket. Fix corruption, fix wastage, channel the moeny into productive ventures and over 20 years, Nigeria will be fine. Stop this excuses baba. It is shameful for ur age.

Nonsense, I don't blame you

Kdon2:
I pray it last. It has never been like this before bro!

we can't trust those people in power. They are same person who are already importing solar energy already just like when politicians started with I pass my naugbour generator. I have the feeling they are doing all this because of next year election... Sango area in ilorin that I stay have once go 2yrs without light now having almost 15hrs light daily for the past 3weeks.
